Virgin Wines's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Virgin Wines reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,608,020 kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 46,656 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 44,458 kg CO2e, and significant Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 2,516,905 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions breakdown reveals major contributions from purchased goods and services (about 1,268,620 kg CO2e) and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 557,000 kg CO2e). Comparatively, in 2023, Virgin Wines' total emissions were about 1,494,130 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 42,704 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 48,099 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 1,403,322 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions from 2023 to 2024. Despite the increase in emissions, Virgin Wines has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or SBTi commitments. The company operates independently without cascading emissions data from a parent organisation, ensuring that its reported figures reflect its own operational impact. Overall, Virgin Wines is actively monitoring its carbon footprint across all scopes, but further commitments to emissions reduction strategies would enhance its sustainability profile in the wine industry.
